Taylor Swift appeared to hand out hundreds of dollars in tips to a few food delivery workers at Gillette Stadium after watching Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs defeat the New England Patriots.
For a seventh time this season since the pair made their relationship public, Swift was in attendance to watch Kelce as his Chiefs secured a 27-17 win on the road against the Patriots. It ensured the defending Super Bowl champions got back to winning ways following successive losses to the Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills.
Sat in her suite alongside friends and family, Swift personally received local food truck orders. It took several people to deliver the order, and the pop icon generously ensured the workers were well compensated for their service after the game.
It’s not the first time that stories of Swift’s generosity have emerged. She reportedly distributed around $55 million in bonuses to the staff and artists that made her record-breaking Eras Tour happen in 2023, including $100,000 checks for all the truck drivers.
A picture shared on social media showed Swift personally handing over cash at the door of the suite where she was watching the game. While it was hard to see exactly how much she was handing over, there appeared to be at least one hundred dollar bill in the hand of the delivery driver as she handed over more notes.
This was the third consecutive Chiefs game Swift has attended, and after the last two were losses, she was perhaps in good spirits. Swift was seen watching on with Brittany Mahomes, Ashley Avignone, Alana Haim, and father Scott who donned a red Chiefs sweater for the game despite being a renowned Philadelphia Eagles fan. Scott was also seen kindly handing out cake from Swift’s birthday cake to guests in the suite during the Chiefs-Patriots game.
In the second quarter, Patrick Mahomes threw towards Kelce in the end zone and the tight end got hands on the ball, but a defender broke up the play. Swift’s reactions at NFL games often go viral, and she was furious with the lack of a penalty flag after Kelce was hit on the incomplete pass.
Swift was caught swearing at the official on the broadcast. She appeared to shout: “What the f***?”
Kelce ultimately struggled to influence proceedings in Foxborough, hauling in just five passes for 27 yards. But the Chiefs still won to move to 9-5 and remain atop the AFC West while the Pats slipped to 3-11 in 2023.
Late in the fourth quarter, the 34-year-old converted an 11-yard catch for a first down, but winced in pain while he was down. He needed some attention on the sideline from the team’s training staff.
After the game, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to the media and said that Kelce suffered a ‘stinger’ although he was able to finish out the contest. Kelce will likely be healthy and ready to go for the Chiefs’ next game against the 6-8 Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day.
